I was striking a steel wedge with a hammer. A chip about 3/16" across came off the corner of the wedge, went through the cuff of my glove and embeded in my wrist. It is below the skin I would say almost 1/4". I put a rare earth magnet on it but its not moving. It does not hurt at the moment and I dont think it hit anything important. I can still feel my pulse and no tendens seem to be involved. I would hate to spend five to ten thousand getting it dug out at in a surgical suite. I think the biggest wory would be infection. How many of you all have taken your work home with you, so to speak? I have an embeded chip in my forehead from years ago, but so far it haaas not not efffectedd mmme... annny. Thanks, Danny
